Its incredible to watch and has inspired me to think about filming my own backpacking experiences. Next I need to pick out a small handycam sized camera that would work well enough to film HD quality video and wouldn't cost an arm and a leg to buy for my first time out. I have considered simply using a good digital camera that has HD video capture but I dont know what kind of results I might get from that. One thing he does is film himself talking/walking by somehow holding the camera at length aimed back at himself. Any idea what kind of mount one would use for that? I assume he's not just holding the tripod by the bottom.. you would think that would be terribly unstable.. maybe not? S.
